This video hopefully has something for everyone. The first 3 tips/Hop-Up's are to help anyone new to the Lunchbox and essential before you build it and go for the first run. (I see these issues and questions often online).
As the video progresses I delve more in to Hop-Up options available in 2022 for this monster truck.
It was a challenging video to make and took me a couple of weeks to put together and will hopefully show what easy mods you can do, and also what else is available in the market. All that aside, I hope you find this video fun, informative and useful.
